High dart average

The three-dart average in darts is the average score achieved with three darts thrown.

Averages are the most cited statistics in matches as they give a rough estimate of a player's form. The longer a match lasts, the harder it is to maintain a high average as low scoring legs or missed darts at a double bring the average down.

While there have been match averages of over 130 in floor tournaments, the world record only lists televised matches, which are easy to verify.

History
Michael van Gerwen is the current world record holder for a televised match with an average of 123.40 thrown in the 2016 Premier League against Michael Smith.

Peter Wright holds the record for highest Professional Darts Corporation live streamed match average (123.53), at Players Championship 29 in 2019.

Bobby George was the first player to throw an average of over 100 on television during the 1979 News of the World Darts Championship final against Alan Glazier.
